Computer game elements, systems, and methods therefor

A computer implemented method of controlling a user interface responsive to user engagement with displayed game elements on the interface, the method comprising the following implemented by a processor of a computer device

• displaying a game area having a plurality of game objects on said interface,
• providing a launcher configured to provide a sequence of player objects of different types into the game area, the launcher receiving player input for targeting and shooting of said game objects by said player objects provided by the launcher,
• detecting if a player object hits a game object of the same type as the player object, the hit game object being adjacent to another of the game objects of the same type as the hit game object, and if so, removing from the game area the player object, the hit game object and the another game object,
• providing data comprising characteristics of at least one line removing game element,
• selecting said at least one line removing game element and associated characteristics for display,
• displaying said at least one line removing game element in the area,
• detecting if a player object hits the game element and when it is detected that the player object hits the game element,
• executing said characteristics of said at least one line removing game element in said game, said characteristics of said at least one line removing game element comprise eliminating a plurality of game objects arranged in a line.

A computer implemented method of controlling a user interface responsive to user engagement with displayed game elements on the interface, the method comprising the following implemented by a processor of a computer device

• displaying a game area having a plurality of game objects of different types on said display:
• providing a launcher configured to provide a sequence of player objects of different types into the game area, the launcher receiving player input for targeting and shooting of said game objects by said player objects provided by the launcher
• detecting if a player object hits a game object of the same type as the player object, the hit game object being adjacent to another of the game objects of the same type as the hit game object, and if so, removing from the game area the player object, the hit game object and the another game object,
• providing data comprising characteristics of at least one game element,
• selecting said at least one game element and associated characteristics for display,
• displaying said at least one game element,
• and executing said characteristics of said at least one game element in said game, said characteristics of said at least one game element comprising resetting said displayed game area and said game objects to a previous state.

A computer device having:

• a user interface configured to display a game area having a plurality of game objects of different types and to display at least one game element, said user interface being configured to receive user input;
• and
• at least one processor in conjunction with at least one memory configured to:
• provide a launcher configured to provide a sequence of player objects of different types into the game area, the launcher receiving player input for targeting and shooting of said game objects by said player objects provided by the launcher,
• detecting if a player object hits a game object of the same type as the player object, the hit game object being adjacent to another of the game objects of the same type as the hit game object, and if so, removing from the game area the player object, the hit game object and the another game object,
• provide data comprising characteristics of at least one game element,
• select said at least one game element and associated characteristics for display by said user interface, and
• execute said characteristics of said at least one game element in said game, said characteristics of said game element comprise said game element obscuring at least one of said game objects displayed in said game by said user interface, wherein in response to said player input, said player object is controlled to shoot said game element to cause a game object previously obscured by said game element to be displayed.

A computer device having:

• a user interface configured to display a game area having a plurality of game objects and to display at least one game element, said user interface being configured to receive user input;
• and
• at least one processor in conjunction with at least one memory configured to:
• provide a launcher configured to provide a sequence of player objects of different types into the game area, the launcher receiving player input for targeting and shooting of said game objects by said player objects provided by the launcher
• detecting if a player object hits a game object of the same type as the player object, the hit game object being adjacent to another of the game objects of the same type as the hit game object, and if so, removing from the game area the player object, the hit game object and the another game object,
• provide data comprising characteristics of at least one line removing game element,
• select said at least one line removing game element and associated characteristics for display by said user interface in the game area, and
• detect if a player object hits the line removing game element and when it is detected that the player object hits the line removing element,
• execute said characteristics of said at least one game element in said game, said characteristics of said at least one game element comprise eliminating a plurality of game objects arranged in a line.

A computer device having:

• a user interface configured to display a game area having a plurality of game objects and to display at least one game element, said user interface being configured to receive user input;
• and
• at least one processor in conjunction with at least one memory configured to:
• provide a player launcher configured to provide a sequence of player objects of different types into the game area, the launcher receiving player input for targeting and shooting of said game objects by said player objects provided by the launcher,
• detect if a player object hits a game object of the same type as the player object, the hit game object being adjacent to another of the game objects of the same type as the hit game object, and if so, removing from the game area the player object, the hit game object and the another game object
• provide data comprising characteristics of at least one game element,
• select said at least one game element and associated characteristics for display by said user interface, and
• execute said characteristics of said at least one game element in said game, said characteristics of said at least one game element comprising resetting said displayed game area and said game objects to a previous state
